built protein-first

why training bodies love this food.

most meal prep is diet food with a fitness label. tandoco is built the other way around — protein first, whole ingredients, real portions — because recovery is where progress actually happens.

protein that shows up

most mains land 35–50g of real, whole-food protein — grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, wild-caught salmon. not powder math. actual food.

macros on every label

protein, carbs, fat, calories — printed on the box. hitting your target is reading, not weighing. and if you track, the numbers are right there.

fresh beats frozen

cooked friday–saturday in loring park, delivered sunday. your food is 1–2 days old — not shipped frozen from three states away. protein keeps its texture.

your time goes to training

no shopping, no sunday prep marathon, no dishes. the hours you'd spend cooking go back to the gym, the trail, or the couch — recovery counts too.

every kind of day

fuel that fits the day you're having.

training day, race week, rest day — the menu is built so there's always a meal that matches the work.

rest days

recovery still eats protein.

muscle is built on the days you don't train. steady, protein-forward meals keep the week consistent — which is the whole game.

carbs are fuel, not fear.

balanced mains with real carbs — rice, potatoes, whole grains — so you walk into a session with something in the tank and walk out with something to rebuild from.

after the work

rebuild with 35–50g.

the post-training meal is the one that matters most. a tandoco main covers it in two minutes of reheating — no protein-shake dinner, no drive-thru compromise.

the honest math

same dinner slot. very different protein.

typical numbers for what actually lands on a plate at dinner — and why athletes notice the difference within a couple of weeks.

typical takeout bowl tasty, but protein is the garnish ~20–25g
frozen "fitness" meal shipped days ahead, modest portions ~25–30g
tandoco main cooked this weekend, macros on the label 35–50g

ranges are typical menu values — every tandoco label shows the exact macros for that meal.

the cheat code

dessert that fits your macros.

tandoco runs the only dedicated protein bakery in the twin cities — cookies, cinnamon rolls, breads and brownies, scratch-baked with whey isolate, eggs, and greek yogurt. real macros printed on every bake, so the sweet tooth stays on the plan.

good questions

athletes ask, we answer.

how much protein is in a meal?

most mains land between 35 and 50 grams of real, whole-food protein — grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken and eggs, wild-caught salmon — with the exact macros printed on every label.

do i have to count macros or log food?

no. the macros are printed on the label, so hitting a protein target is reading, not math. if you do track, the numbers are right there — and here's our macro-tracking 101 if you're new to it.

is it fresh or frozen?

fresh, never frozen. meals are cooked friday–saturday in our minneapolis kitchen and delivered sunday — 1–2 days old when they hit your fridge, not 3–5 days like nationally shipped boxes. the full fresh-vs-frozen breakdown is here.

when does delivery happen?

order by thursday 11:59pm, eat sunday. delivery is a $9.99 flat fee within roughly 15 miles of loring park — minneapolis, st. paul, and the surrounding suburbs. more on minneapolis delivery here.

is this only for serious athletes?

not at all. the food is protein-first because that's what training bodies need most — but most customers are simply people who work out and want to eat well without cooking: lifters, runners, GLP-1 users protecting muscle, and busy people who want steady energy.

can my trainer pick my meals?

yes — through tandocoach, your trainer builds your week straight from the menu, so you get exactly what to eat, cooked and delivered. connecting a trainer is free.
